Rub¡iy¡t of Omar Khayyam Omar Khayyam was a 12th-century Persian astronomer, mathematician, and teacher. He wrote many four-line epigrammatic verses, known in Persian as rubaâi, which were later brought together in a collection called the Rub¡iy¡t. In the 1850s English poet and translator Edward FitzGerald reworked Omarâs poetry into rhymed verse and tried to preserve the spirit of the original, if not its precise meaning. FitzGerald published his translation in 1859, but it was not until the second edition appeared in 1868 that the poetry gained immense popularity. Want more Encarta?

Russell (director of "I Love Huckabees" and "Three Kings"), writer/producer Tom Huckabee, and international vocal star Andy Madadian for an exclusive preview of " The Keeper ," followed by a filmmakers' discussion and reception. This moving feature raises essential questions about roots, identity, story-telling and the meaning of family ties. Kamran is a twelve-year-old boy in the present day who discovers that his ancestor is the 11th-century mathe-matician, astronomer and poet of Persia, Omar Khayyam. The story has been passed down in his family from one generation to another, and now it is his responsibility to keep the story alive for future generations. His dying brother, Nader, begins telling him the story as we flash back from the modern day to the epic past where the relationship between Omar Khayyam, Hassan Sabbah (the original creator of the sect of Assassins) and their mutual love for a beautiful woman separate them from their eternal bond of friendship. Throughout the telling of the story from Nader to Kamran, we periodically return to the present day to reveal the frailty of life and how stories such as ours easily fade with the passing of each generation.
Euclid's Fifth Postulate

Extractions: Attempts to Prove It's hard to add to the fame and glory of Euclid who managed to write an all-time bestseller, a classic book read and scrutinized for the last 23 centuries. However insignificant the following point might be, I'd like to give him additional credit for just stating the Fifth Postulate without trying to prove it. For attempts to prove it were many and all had failed. By the end of the last century, it was also shown that the fifth postulate is independent of the remaining axioms, i.e., all the attempts at proving it had been doomed from the outset. Did Euclid sense that the task was impossible? The earliest source of information on attempts to prove the fifth postulate is the commentary of Proclus on Euclid's Elements . Proclus, who taught at the Neoplatonic Academy in Athens in the fifth century, lived more than 700 years after Euclid. Although an invaluable source for the history of mathematics, the

Extractions: Science and Mathematics (continued) Part III. Mathematics Advancements by Muslims: Introduction: Just as with science, the Muslims learned from the Greeks, Egyptians, Indians, and Babylonians. Many translations took place in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid Empire. The Muslim scholars there translated the works of the Greeks who loved mathematics and geometry, including Euclid's work on geometry. They borrowed from India a number system that had a zero and rewrote it as their own. They borrowed from the Babylonians whose number system was based on 60 (just like the minutes in an hour), and from the ancient Egyptians who had the math and geometry skills to build incredible pyramids. So from the beginning, "Arabic math" was a mixing of international knowledge. But the Muslims made additional contributions of their own, and through their study and written work, they preserved the knowledge of mathematics that otherwise might have been lost to the world.

His well known work, The Rubaiyat, is a beautiful continuous poem comprised of seventy-five quatrains (stanzas). His poetry was translated by Edward Fitzgerald in 1859. Fitzgerald was responsible for selecting the material of the Rubaiyat from Khayyams work and wove it into the poems that we read today. The Rubaiyat is often presented with beautiful illustrations.

In addition, Neyshabur has been a major source of Firouz-e (Turquoise) for thousands of years and still a major center of Turquoise trade. Hakim Omar-e-Khayyam - (b. May 18, 1048, Nishapur, Iran d.

He discovered a geometrical method to solve cubic equations by intersecting a parabola with a circle.

Extractions: Forget Omar Khayyam, just pass a cup of kindness to everyone Tuesday, December 29, 1998 By Reg Henry As the New Year approaches, once again we consider the state of our lives and ponder the eternal question: What the heck does "lang syne" mean anyway? The Scottish poet Robert Burns, who was so great we have a statue of him near Schenley Park even though he never played for a Pittsburgh sports team, wrote "Auld Lang Syne" knowing full well that people would be too inebriated to think much about it. That's because on New Year's Eve many of us take a cup of kindness. Did someone say "cup of kindness"? Hey, make mine a double. That's the problem. We take a cup of kindness, and before you know it, the designated poetry/song interpreter can't make himself heard above all the kissing and blowing of horns. So let me tell you, in this quiet moment, that it means "long since." Yes, old long since. Go figure. In Scotland, of course, New Year's Eve is a very big deal. In celebration, the Scots eat haggis - sheep's stomach containing offal and seasonings - and, having survived that, they feel much better about the coming year, knowing that things can only improve. Well, it's a theory.

Ladies and gentlemen I am delighted to welcome you to this banquet. What you heard in the preamble prayer are typical Persian metaphors . A Butterfly and a Candle, a Nightingale and a Flower are symbols for a lover and a beloved. A beloved starts with someone tangible such as a woman, then it becomes a friend, a teacher/master, and then it transcends to God. Persian language was the Franca-Lingua of the Muslim world. Arabic was the religious and scientific language but Persian was the literal, cultural, royal and legal language of the courts in the Ottoman and the Indian empires. Indeed the Mughul and the Ottoman royal families were speaking Persian in their courts. Persian literature is multi-dimensional in its scope; you will hear recitations of poems in English from 4 great Persian poets: The omissions of some of them do not mean they were not great but rather we could not fit them all in tonight's program. For example, one of the omitted Persian poets, Ferdowsi- who lived in the10th century- is very well known for his epic poetry and nationalistic old Persian stories in Shah-Nameh (Book of Kings) who revived the Persian language. His most famous chapter is the tragedy of Rustam and Sohrab, where Rustam kills his son Sohrab without knowing him.

Extractions: The Life of Omar Khayyam Advancing in his academic career, Omar Khayyam was noticed by the Seljuq Sultan Malik Shah, who invited the emerging intellectual to head his astronomical observations initiative. The purpose of this undertaking was characterized by the reorganization of the calendar. For achieving this task, Omar Khayyam and a team of astronomers headed the construction of an observatory in the town of Esfahan. In the year 1092, Sultan Malik Shah died, and Khayyam found himself without a direct sponsor. The situation at the time was such that scholarly men of learning, even those as learned as Omar, would find it difficult to get by, except if they enjoyed the assistance of a ruler at one of the numerous courts. In this regard, Omar Khayyam wrote: Omar Khayyam in Europe As already mentioned, some seven hundred years after he wrote his poems, Omar Khayyam was to rise to fame in Europe. Through Edward FitzGerald's translation of Omar's work, the roba'iyat poetical form or "quatrains," was introduced to the West. The quatrain is a piece of verse made up of four rhyming lines. Omar Khayyam's quatrain, or roba'iyat, had the third line not rhyming with the first, the second, and the forth - which rhymed with each other. Here follows an excerpt from one of the more famous sections of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam as translated by FitzGerald:
